Blinds2go roller blind (Desford, Leicester LE9)
Not used. A thermally lined roller blind which fits a window 177 cm wide and 95 cm in length. This is a No Drill blind which just clicks into place. The colour was not what I'd ordered so they sent a replacement. It is a more purple colour in reality compared with what the photo suggests.

Currys Ceramic Hob (Desford, Leicester LE9)
Gifted
Standard hob size - removed by an electrician from a friend's house. We were going to install it but I've decided to stick with my gas hob for the time being. There are no marks on its surface - the photo just reflects what's around.

Large button telephone (Desford, Leicester LE9)
Gifted
As well as large buttons, there's also a light in the top right corner that lights up with an incoming call. This was used on the old system for phones (copper wire) - I'm not sure how it connects to the newer system although the label does mention needing an 'in line filter' to connect to broadband.

Toshiba DVD player (Desford, Leicester LE9)
Gifted
Small DVD player only - it doesn't record. Remote included plus a SCART lead as this is an older model and connects that way. It was originally connected to the television I'm also gifting so there is an advantage to having both. This really hasn't been used much - my mum just could not get her head round it.
